I'll have to confess But a few months ago, I got a Sinus attack, and had a bit of a spree on fettsau's ebay shop and bought these three Loks, that I'd been wanting since they were in the Catalogue, all C Sine propulsion

M39821 V200.150

M39120 E10.345

M39020 DRG 18.321

" Every Marklin layout needs a V200, a Railbus and a Banana car", not to mention a few Black and red Steamers, oh and the odd Elok !

Just so you realise I am a complete C Sinus snob, I won this on ebay yesterday from the same vendor as the Swiss Set last week. A fine addition to my all Sinus V200 fleet (even if I do say so myself ) It's usage will be revealed during an era IV continuium on my layout

Very nice, I have 1 c sine loco and it s a great runner, so I can imagine why you like it so much! And the loco s are real nice too (you got to love the bugelfalte and v200 class), but I didn t know there was a c sine br18 too.

Yesterday, I bought an ÖBB Rh 4010, a former "Transalpin" railcar in EuroCity livery. It's a used Roco item (but in a nearly new condition), catalog number is 43898. Now it awaits digitalization, and I'm looking for the three additional cars.

Hi Kristoff,It's the DRG version of the Baden IVh which was also released as a new item in 2008 (39021) and is Blue. It is quite a different animal both in the prototype and model from the S3/6 Class 18, which in the prototype turned out to be a way better Lok as it was a newer developement, hence Marklin has made heaps of them but all in old style technology, which short of a throwawy can motor we are stuck with (ie 5 star/pole motors) with the demise of SDS

A quick feedback on these locos:-all metal bodies for both (V320 is very heavy)-many plastic parts on the E95...a bit disappointing; pantographs are very fragile; I had a mess with my catenary, and it took one hour to rebuild the pantos (damn' tiny springs )-twin motor for E95 ! ; all decoders works OK (programmed in DCC mode on CS2) and locos run fine;-put Märklin close couplers on both; -the v320 is very long (264mm); with v320, you must set the first wagon with also close couplers; if not, derailment will occur with old relex wagons

I'm satisfied, but the E95 must be handled with care.

Thanks, It is expensive loco for me.

I haven't got all the M ones I'd like to have as yet, so I don't go playing in other manufacturers Catalogues. (read my signature ) I do have a couple of particular Roco wagens tho, and when browsing the Brawa Catalogue for Ribbon cable the other night, some of their Wagens did catch my eye

Thanks! Great addition to my 37491 metall edition. Now I only need 3 more and the GG-collection is complete. Now I only need some space to run these monsters. And I´m sill waiting for my 37628 Kansas City F7.

I have the 37491 too.I am looking for 37492 on ebay.It is a little difficult to find the loco in a good price.The tuscan red is very impressive color.

Pity you had to make us work so hard at finding the pics. Why didn't you just post them here?

Sorry about that Ray but Webmaster made a post a few days ago about doubling up on postings, as it just needlessly, uses up miles of bandwidth, especially where pics are involved, and if we run over the monthly allocation, guess who has to pay poor Juhan

@Glen: The worst part about the throw away can motors is that they mostly aren t avaiable anymore...

Kristof

The high quality can motors in Marklin's high end locos are very often made by well known manufacturers such as Maxon and Faulhaber, and are used by many other manufacturers in their models. It should be possible to get replacement motors directly from the manufacturers, even if Markin do not stock them any more.

Ray

Mostly Marklin.Selection of different eras and European railways Small C track layout, control by MS2, 100+ trains but run 4-5 at a time.
